The Departed
Film // Jim // 12th August 2006
The flash looking new crime thriller from Martin Scorsese is in fact a re-make of the superb Hong Kong flick, Infernal Affairs. Having had a squiz at the trailer it looks like large bits of it are going to be exactly the same albeit with loads of famous actors, more gunplay and lashings of Rolling Stones music.
The "Joker" in the pack is the casting of Jack Nicholson as the crimelord at the centre of the complicated plot, it looks like he might bring something new and humourous to proceedings. But still, I strongly recommend that you get hold of the original instead of going to watch yet another hollywood copy, especially if it contains the uncomfortably bland version of Comfortably Numb used in the trailer.
